The panel discussion "War in Ukraine: Re-thinking state cooperation between Europe and Africa" will highlight specific and urgent issues that are (still) significant for state actors one year after the outbreak of the extensive Russian war on Ukraine. The discussion takes a differentiated and critical look at cooperation between Africa and Europe and attempts to rethink interstate cooperation and intercontinental dialogue between Africa and Europe.
